KOCHI: Hackers have once again had the last laugh, putting to sword tall claims made by the Kerala cyber police on preventing cyber attacks on government websites.
On Monday, an unidentified group unleashed a malware on the official website of the Kochi Metro rail project (www.kochimetro.org), shutting the site down and delaying the process inviting expressions of Interest (EoIs) from consultants for various Metro-related projects.
Other than providing information on the prestigious project, the website hosted by the Kochi Metro Rail Ltd (KMRL) was used for official communication by vendors and downloading applications.
The incident was noticed when Metro officials tried to open the website on Monday morning. According to police officials, a hacker group, ReZk2LL team, has claimed the responsibility for the attack.
KMRL's official spokesperson said that the website was the main interface between vendors and Metro officials. "Several expressions of interest (EoIs) and appointment details were hosted on the website. Now, the vendors will not be able to access the details of EoIs and download more details available on TIMES OF INDIA
